Bible Texts: Ps.45:3-4, Matt.5:14-16, Hag.1:7-8, Mal.3:10, Is.41:10-13, 2Cor.9:6-11, Lk.6:48, Jos.1:6-8, Ps.1:1-3, 3Jn.1:2, Jer.29:11, Jn.10:10
I welcome you to the 1st day of October 2023, which also happens to be the last quarter of the year the word of God shall bear rule in our lives. As it is written, the latter days shall be better than the former (Hag.1:7). I pray, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, that this remaining three months shall be better than the past 9 months in all aspects of your life, including your spiritual life, the work of your hands, career, job, finances, business, health, your soul and in all your pursuits. Amen,
Let us begin today’s teaching by establishing the irrevocable will of God for you as the husbandman.
I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers (3Jn.1:2)
The second is this.
My thoughts towards you are good and not evil, to give you a hope and a future (Jer.23:11)
God wants you to prosper in your body, soul, spirit and the work of your hands. God has plans for your prosperity long before He made you the head of your family. Before you became the godly man, husband and father, God has made provision for your all-round abundance. God hates your poverty. God is not pleased when you are unable to perform your covenant responsibility to your wife and children and the world around you. So, if you are just merely existing and struggling to meet your financial, emotional, material, mental and physical obligations, God is not happy about your condition. God wants you to live the abundant life (Jn.10:10).
Thou art fairer than the children of men, grace is poured into thy lips, therefore God hath blessed thee forever (Ps.45:2)
As the good and godly husbandman, God has a prosperity plan for you that will last beyond your life and that plans cover your finances, health, fruitfulness of your body and the works of your hands, mental health, longevity, peace, joy, strength and agility, hope and faith.
But there are three important virtues you must work to have and maintain as you run the remaining months of the year.
And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of TRUTH and MEEKNESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS…… (Ps.45:4a)
From the Scripture, there are three spiritual demands that you must give yourself to if you want to ride prosperously as the good and godly husbandman.
The first is truthfulness. You must be truthful in all that you do in your giving to God in your tithing and offering, in your office and business partners. You must not take advantage of the corrupt system to enrich yourself either by changing contract figures or altering documents. You must speak the truth to all men, in all circumstances and at all times.
The second character you must seek if you want to enjoy the God kind of prosperity as the godly shepherd is meekness. As a matter of fact, if you are not humble in your heart before God, you cannot enjoy the grace of God that makes you have all things (2 Cor.9:8). Humility helps you to receive instructions and wisdom from God that will help you to manage your business, finances, health, relationships, career and much more.
The third is for you to live a holy and righteous life. You must learn to do what is right even when it is not convenient and no one is watching. You must be a promise keeper and be faithful to God, your wife, children, employer, employee, and country. You must let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify God in heaven… (Matt.5:14-16).
As the good and godly husbandman, you must keep these three virtues before you. You must deliberately pray to and work with the Person of the Holy Spirit to impart you with the attributes of meekness, truthfulness and righteousness. And working and walking in meekness, truth and righteousness leads you to the path of God-kind of prosperity.
SPIRITUAL EXERCISE
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, I ask for the impartation of the spirit of meekness, truth and righteousness in my life.
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, make me a living example of a truthful, meek and righteous husbandman.
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, empower me to live my life in truth and do what is right before You, my wife, children and in the market place of life.
FAITH CONFESSION
I have received the spirits of meekness, truth and righteousness from the Holy Ghost, because I want to live a prosperous life as the good and godly husbandman in Jesus Name. Amen.
